Unfortunately, this page still does not have the correct info on this
thing called:
Drill 1: Touch and let go of the E-Meter
This page still thinks, and rightfully so, that this drill is:
"Yes it is usually done at the beginning of training when a person is
not familiar with the e-meter. But it can be done
whenever it is thought appropriate or if the student asks for it."
This is wrong. Drill 1 is an important E-Meter Drill. I actually did
this drill on the Method One Co-Audit Course. I was not prepared for
the silliness of this drill. You sit there and touch-and-let-go of
the e-meter, you do this on command, you get a Thank-You every time
you do it. (in clam/speak this is Acknowledgment.)
Like the above mentioned page, I thought this was a one-time thing.
So I sat there for a while 'touching and letting going' and then
Originated some Cognition about it all and figured that was the end of
that! Wrong.
This drill is done over and over and over and over again throughout
your training as an Auditor. Not only that, but each and every time
you do this drill you can only end it on a Major Cognition. So over
and over and over you MUST have a Major Cognition from doing this
'touch and let go' thing.
Does the stupidity end with this? It does not. While I'm a clam on
course in 1993 or 1994, my main man Roger G. (Hi Rog) is doing
something called (I think) Solo NOTs Prep Course. It was something
like that. A course preparing the person for the OT levels. The
checksheet for this course required that each e-meter drill be done
FIVE times. That's right, however many other times Roger may have
done Drill 1: Touch and Let Go of the E-Meter, he now had to do it
another 5 times. AND, of course each and every time he would end off
with a Major Cognition.
Well i Twinned many of the Drills with Roger, which meant that I also
had to do 'touch and let go' again and again. The good part was that
i was not required to have a Major Cognition.
I try and find just when it was i was mentally done with the cult, at
exactly what point it was over. This Drill would have been a big part
of it. There is no way in the world I can do such a simple exercise
over and over again and come up with a Major Cognition each time.
Yet the Tech says that a person will have Major Cognitions from doing
this. You have to wonder of course if there ever does come a time in
a humans life when he has had all the Major Wins that can be had from
doing Drill 1: Touch and Let Go of the E-Meter.
Or maybe you just do this drill until you are an ex-member, a
psychotic, or a statistic from the Introspection Rundown.
